NO HUN AT PEACE TABLE Germany Should Bo Left Xo Choice but to Comply With Allied Term or Go on Fighting, Says Corporal Tanner. Xeen-seated hatred for Ua Satanic majesty," tba Kaiser, and his armed hosts of despollera of women and chil dren waa rolced In speech, story and aotia- at the annual camp lire of the G. A. R. at the Auditorium - last night. And there were no vacant aeata at tbat Intensely patriotic demonstration. An overflow meeting of several hundred persons at the entrance to the building; was addressed by Mayor Baker, Samuel R. Van ant. ex-Governor of Minnesota and Past Commander-in-Chief of the G. A. and Colonel C Garrigus; an ex-Confederate of this city. "When I think of the unbelievable Crimea of which the Kaiser has been guilty, I sometime wonder that a righteous God has not consigned him and his murderous cohorts to the most orthodox Hell that is known, and con demned them to overlastiag damna tion," declared Corporal James Tanner, of New Tork, a Past Commander-in-Chief of the National organisation, who was one of the speakers at the main meeting. This observation was cheered thunderously by an aroused audience which was composed chiefly of the comrades with whom he fought in the "War of the Rebellion. Tatea Saved la ,60a. T will not say that yon men fought better or more nobly In the 'COs than ear boys are today fighting on the Flanders field." he added, "but, if it had not been for your work then there would not have been a republic of the United States and the opportunity af forded today for this republio to take its place in the front ranks of the na tions in the present world conflict for humanity and a permanent worldwide democracy. Generous words of praise were paid the American forces in France, whose highest ambition, testified the speaker, waa "to measure up to the standards set by their daddies in the 'SOs." An ticipating the time when terms of peace are to be made. Corporal Tanner said he would deny to the Kaiser a seat at the council table and would give to the allies the duty of formulating plans for a world peace, leaving to Germany the only alternative of accepting and living up to those conditions or to be confronted by a renewal of the war un til its boasted military organization met with complete elimination. German Language for Hell. "There has been some controversy In some of the states as to whether the teaching of German should be barred from our schools," continued the vigor ous veteran, "but I am of the opinion that any language that produces a peo ple so lost to all sense of humanity is a "kultur" the United States can well do without. I am perfectly willing that is) should be the only language spoken in hell." Equally impassioned addresses teem ing in patriotic sentiment were deliv ered by Judge Leo Rassieur. of Mis souri, and Washington Gardner, of Michigan, both past commanders of th National organization. This formal programme was modified sufficiently to permit two old veterans to speak or read some verses in which the Kaiser was further denounced. C G. Burton, of this city, was chair man. and the musical part of the pro gramme was contributed by the Rosar ian Band, Professor Frederick W. Goodrich, Mrs. Fred I Olson, Mrs. taisy Wells and Dr. Stuart McGuire. Only patriotic numbers were sung, in clndlng "The Battle Hymn of the Re public." "Marching Through Georgia.' "The S tar-Spangled Banner" and "Keep the Home Fires Burning." with "Annie Laurie" as an encore by Mrs. Olson, The audience was dismissed after sing ing "America. ln drawing and modeling at the Unl verslty of Oregon, who was enrolled in the Student Officers' Training Corps at the Presidio just in time to escape the draft, is developing into a bayonetting expert at the Army school and has been selected to receive special ad vanced Instruction in this work, ac cording to word received at the university.

Anderson, who had signed up with the sea service bureau to command the Salmon, a steam vessel now under construction for the Ship ping Board, resigned yesterday to go to San Francisco to answer charges of violating the neutrality act.

HAT KNOCKED: FROM HEAD Later He Avoids Fine by Paying $35 to Belgian Baby Fund Another Assessed $5 Third Is Held for Federal Inquiry. When gray-haired veterans of the O. A. R- pass along in review; with Old Glory floating proudly above them, the least that a spectator can do is to iut his hat as a mark of reverence as well as patriotism. That is the view taken by Municipal Judge Rossman when he heard evidence against three men who found their way to police headquarters yesterday after the parade. James L. Hall, an employe of the Pa cific Telephone & Telegraph Company, who failed to salute the flag as the veterans passed him at Broadway and Alder street, escaped being; fined on a charge of disorderly conduct by agree ing: to give S35 to trie fund for tbe re lief of Belgian babiea. Hall had disregarded repeated re quests from the spectators to remove his hat while the flag was passing. Finally James J. Richardson, sporting editor of The Oregon lan, insisted to Hall that "a better spirit of patriotism should be shown, but when the colors again appeared in the line of march Hall still stood with head covered. A controversy followed, and Mr. Rich ardson finally struck Hall and knocked off his hat. E. O. Amine, Deputy Constable and tnjjloy. of the. Portland Railway. Light & Power Company, who had witnessed the incident from an upper floor of the Electrlo building, caused the ar rest of Richardson on an assault and battery charge. Hall waj confronted at the police station with a disorderly conduct complaint. Several well-known citizens testified at the hearing, all of them sustaining Mr. Richardson, who was exonerated by Judge Rossman. Hall contended that his apparent lack of patriotism was due to thoughtless ness. The court, however, let him es cape without a fine only on condi tion that he would donate to the Bel gian fund. I Byers, 38 years old, a logger, was haled into court when he refused to remove his hat after being requested by spectators to do so. He displayed so little feeling of patriotism that Judge Rossman decided to turn him over to the Federal authorities for in vestigation. Edwin McElnoy. aged 19, also failed to remove his hat. After receiving a lecture on patriotism he was ordered to give $5 to the fund for the relief of Belgian babies. ROSES AREJINJIG DEMAND Portland Residents Urged to Send Blooms to Liberty Temple. Visitors are charmed with the rare beauty of Portland roses, as evidenced by the manner of those who were showered with flowers yesterday. The executive committee requests that dur ing the remaining days of the encamp ment citizens contribute the flowers from their rose gardens in-order that the extraordinary fragrance and per fection of the Portland rose may be im pressed upon the stranger within the city gates. Pleaee bring the roses to the Liberty Temple and the distribution will be taken care of by special rep resentatives of the committee. . Places Wanted on Starr. SALEM, Or.. Aug. 20.
